[Verse 1]
Dm Am
She tries to hold on, but no...
A# A
She's sinking to the bottom so slow.
Dm Am
The girl she knew yesterday she don't see
A#
when she looks into the mirror,
A
wipes her tears,
try and wash it all away.
[Instrumental]
Dm Am A# A
[Verse 2]
Dm Am
She paints on a smiling face
A# A
and tries to forget the last cold embrace.
Dm
She wants to run away.
Am
Can't face another day.
A# A Dm Am A# A
She'd rather join the dead than spend the night with strangers in her bed.
and she cries...
[Chorus]
Dm Am A#
'Break all the silence
A
and tell the whole world
Dm Am
that they're tearing me apart with their dirty selfish hands
A# A
leaving me with nothing at all.
Dm Am A# A
He takes me inside and breaks me apart
Dm Am
As he's pushed up against me my skin begins to crawl
A# A
leaving me with nothing at all'
and she cries...
[Verse 3]
Dm Am
Someone please save me.
A# A
Someone please free me.
Dm Am A#
Will someone please show me that love is still alive
A Dm Am A#
and hope is not lost.
A
and Hope is not lost.
[Instrumental]
Dm Am A# A
[Bridge]
Dm Am
I will not stop until silence no longer fills
A#
the darkened hotel rooms
A
where people trade the lives of the
Dm Am
unlucky millions, the defaced civilians:
A# A
The mother, the daughter, the brother, the sister, the son.
Dm Am
She'll give her life to make it go away.
A# A
Washes his hands but still feels stained.
Dm Am A# A
Who's gonna turn their night into day.
and they cry...
[Chorus]
Dm Am A#
'Break all the silence
A
and tell the whole world
Dm Am
that they're tearing me apart with their dirty selfish hands
A# A
leaving me with nothing at all.
Dm Am A# A
He takes me inside and breaks me apart
Dm Am
As he's pushed up against me my skin begins to crawl
A# A
leaving me with nothing at all'
Dm Am A# A
No more, I cannot take this no more
Dm Am A# A
No more, I can't take it anymore
Dm Am A# A Dm Am
No, I can't take it, I can't take it anymore
[Chorus]
A#
Break all the silence
A
and tell the whole world
Dm Am
that they're tearing me apart with their dirty selfish hands
A# A
leaving me with nothing at all.
Dm Am
And as they push up against me my skin begins to crawl
A# A
Sweat of a monster, on my face it falls.
[Outro]
Dm Am A# A
No more, I cannot take this no more
Dm Am A# A
and she cries...
Dm Am A# A Dm
‘Someone please save me. Someone please heal me'
